2 Other Periodic tenancies
4.39 Section 6 only applies to annual periodic tenancies. There is no statutory provision in the 1995 Act for the length of notice to quit shorter periodic tenancies. Quarterly, monthly and weekly tenancies will be terminable in accordance with common law requirements ie by the giving of one period’s notice ending on a term date.
Thus, one quarter’s notice will be required to terminate a quarterly tenancy, a month’s notice for a monthly tenancy, and a week’s notice for a weekly tenancy. In Knipe v National Trust82 it was held that a farm house let as part of an agricultural holding was not let ‘as a dwelling’ within the meaning of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977, s 5 – it was let as an agricultural holding. It follows that, if the holding includes a residential dwelling it is not necessary for notice to quit to be of at least four weeks duration and given in writing, including the prescribed information required by the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.83 Periodic farm business tenancies, other than annual tenancies, are therefore uncontrolled by the 1995 Act,84 and remain outside its residual protective provisions: there is no statutory ‘conversion’ of short term interests akin to that for ‘old’ agricultural tenancies under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986.85
